House rules

A new house. I was helping unpack in a new place. My parents had decided they wanted to go out to dinner as we were finishing up and my baby sister was tearing around the corner wanting to ask if a local girl could spend the night. I found my old roller blades that I haven't seen in ages and think to skate for a while. I slowly make my way up the old street to my parents' house (where they live now) and I get stopped by a couple of people- one is someone I don't know, the other is Alex. For whatever reason I let the stranger hug me before I start getting uncomfortable and I have to extricate myself so I can greet Alex and we can leave. I got the feeling that he didn't like the stranger being all over me, but then again, I definitely did not like that. I never made it to my parents house, but instead returned to the other. From there it got steadily darker and there were some people at the house. There was the air of a challenge and I was looking for my boyfriend. It was almost primitive thinking in modern surroundings. Like I was a bit away from where everyone else sat (we were all on the floor), and I was watching my friends. Thankfully, boyfriend comes up behind me so I know he is there, and I hug him. I tell him that some of the younger girls think to challenge me for my spot- I guess I'm some sort of leader(?), but they don't dare. He agrees with me that they won't, and I start waking up.
